You won't have the LM Singapore to complain about after this year. It's leaving the Starwood program and will be under new management. Yes, it will be refurbished. I will miss it. I'm sorry to see it leave SPG.

That’s too bad. I usually stay there the first and last nights (very late arrival (12:30 a.m.) and very early (3:00 a.m. departure) (NW). Great rates and a nice lounge.

The "trend" started more than a year ago.
We have already lost Changi Village (yes there were 2 LM in SIN), LRM Koh Samui and LRM Phuket. This is in addition to the Sheratons in Penang, Chiang Mai and Labuan.
Not good news at all, though I suspect some FTer have got their wish come true

This was my last 'cheap' place to stay with Starwood in Singapore. In the past, I could find rooms at the Sheraton for under 200 SGD a night now they run 400+.
Maybe a 4 points coming soon

What is the source of this info?
It does seem like Starwood is getting rid of all of their cheaper properties in S.E Asia.

Thank you and have a nice day!

No wonder that place has been "sold out" for months....I was surprised I was unable to make a reservation back in January for a reservation in June.

that's too bad, i was looking forward to staying there again for sin do '09. not going to spring for the st regis, guess i'll have to try the hilton again.
(sure, it's a nicer hotel, but tougher on the pocketbook.)
availability at the sheraton seems to be nil...what's that about?

Well, there goes the guaranteed upgrade that Augustine promised after SinDo 2008, although the prices for January, 2009 were ridiculous when I looked.
I am booked at the Novotel at Clarke Quai for 2009. KarenKay, the rate there was 145 Sing $$ when I booked it last month. Non-cancelable, but not prepaid rate.

The LM SIN Needs A LOT of work. Outside the club floor the rooms are on the verge of becoming a mold health hazard. That being said, many times when a franchise is going through the trouble of putting a lot of cash into a renovation, they want to switch brands to make it obvious that there's been changes.
